Baltimore, MD - Nov. 11, 2024 - The Jewish War Veterans of Maryland and the Jewish Uniformed Service Association of Maryland-Chabad (JUSA) hosted a special Veterans Day Kaddish Service at the Jewish Section of Garrison Forest Veterans Cemetery, one of the only such ceremonies in the country.
The meaningful service was attended by community members and local politicians, and was led by Rabbi Chesky Tenenbaum, director of JUSA-Chabad and Chaplain of the Jewish War Veterans of Maryland. The ceremony began with Stanley Fishman, commander of Jewish War Veterans Post 167, welcoming attendees. Baltimore County Council Chair Izzy Patoka also addressed the crowd, offering gratitude and recognition to the veterans for their service.
The service culminated with the recitation of the Kel Molei and the mourner's Kaddish in honor of the fallen veterans and heroes. Rabbi Tenenbaum invited family members of those interred in the Jewish section to share stories of their loved ones. Several moving accounts of heroism were shared, reflecting the deep sacrifices of those buried at the cemetery.
May the memory of our fallen heroes be a blessing.
